That's it--businesses are getting in what they can THIS year, before the massive tax increases that take place in January kick in. When those happen, look out below. For further indication that this "recovery" is temporary and false, what are employers doing regarding hiring? I just saw an notice from my employer stating they were getting rid of 300-400 positions by July 1st.

Green shoots, my ass.

It has gotten to the point that these statistics (which I used to pay attention to) now mean little to me.

I rely on what I personally see and hear regarding the economy versus some fraudulent statistic.
